“That’s my pure joy. I thank god for the era I’m in. It’s been the best yet 🤓,” she added.

In April, Martin and Short alsopraised Gomezin an interview with PEOPLE after working together for more than three years onOnly Murders in the Building.

“I think it just gets deeper and deeper and deeper,” Short said of his friendship with Gomez. “She is so lovely as a human, she’s so remarkable as a talent, and she just has an aura and this lovely spirit. Our friendship grows and grows."

And when it comes to her professionalism, her costars —who have been friends, themselves, for 40 years— both give shining reviews.

“We didn’t really know Selena, we didn’t know what we’re getting into,” Martin shared. “I knew she has a fabulous personality, she’s very smart. But she is never late.”

“No,” Short agreed.

“And that’s a very big deal when you’re making a movie, if people are standing around like, ‘Where is so-and-so?'" Martin continued. “She is on the mark… We all march down the steps together. It’s fabulous. But it gives you an insight into her own personality and professionalism.”
